I have the same problem. The way I avoid this kind of infinite
loop is to create an invisible file ".tex" with only one line
"\bye". When ones presses control-D, the TeX will read this 
invisible file. I look at those infinite looping messages
and all of them are just the same: "Can't find any file .tex".

I am also looking for better solution. I would appreciate
someone out there can tell me how to avoid this kind of 
infinite loop.
